Saveral Things Settled.

The election on Tuesday settled the public
mind with regard TO several things, the most
important of which is that Mr.. Cleveland
viii be nominated and reelected. The Re
publicans made an extraordinary effort 70
carry New York, for the reason. chiefly, that
they thought Republican victory in that
State this year would convince the country
of their ability TO carry it next year, and
enable them to elect their candidate for
President Throughout the canvass they
kept prominent the idea that the national
administration was on trial, and that
Democratic defeat would show diSSatisfac
ton with Mr.. Cleveland and prevent his
denomination. They regard him as the
strongest man that the Democratic party
can nominate. With Republican victory
in New York this year, and Mr. Cleveland
out Of the way, they would regard the sue
cess OF the Republican party in the national
contest as almost certain.
To assist them in carrying New York they
depended upon a large vote, chiefly drawn
from the Democratic party, for Henry
George, a falling off in the Prohibition vote
and the supposed popularity of Col. Fred
Grant, who led their State ticket. They
were disappointed in all these calculations.
Henry Georges vote in New York city was
only little more than half what it was
last spring when he was a candidate for
Mayor against Mr.. Hewitt, showing that
the bottom has dropped out of the George
movement. When he ran for Mayor the
enthusiasm in his behalf was something re-
markable during the entire municipal can
vaSs In the contest just closed he ap-
peared TO be lost sight of. When he
appeared at the polls to vote nobody paid
any attention TO him. The vote which he
received throughout the State was so small
that the probabilities are that his party will
not play any considerable part in the Presi
Dental contest.
The Prohibitionists not only maintained
their strength, but actually increased it.
The increase in their voti- power indicates
a decrease in that of the Republican party,
because the Prohibition party is largely re-
crlited from the ranks of the Republicans
The nomination by the Republicans of
Col. Grant did not prove to be wise one.
His party friends Knew that he possessed no
elements of strength so far as ne was per-
sonally concerned, but they hoped that the
fact that he is the son of Gen. Grant would
be worth many thousands of votes to the
Republican party Never were party lead
ers so greatly disappointed New York
will, beyond doubt, give Mr.. Cleveland a
very handsome majority next year.

When Mr.. Cleveland was Mayor.
From the CNicnQO Nelrs { Dem.


A Chicago man who makes it his business to
follow up the races recalls little incident that
came under his observation during one of the
trotting meetings at Buffalo, at the time when
President Cleveland was Mayor of that city.
Pat Sheedy, the Chicago sport, was in Buffalo
at the time and being man Of exceeding good
address, managed to scrape up an acquaintance
with Mayor Cleveland for purpose which will
presently appear. The Mayor was consider
ably pleased with Mr. Sheedy," who, of course,
was on his best behavior, and the acquaintance
ripened as rapidly as if it had been set under a
glass case out in the SUM- MIR. Sheedy sat
around the Mayors Office the better part of two
days, handed out choice cigars, tried to order
up the best of wines and, in short, strove to
make himself as agreeable as possible. When
he thought he had ingratiated himself into the
Mayors good graces far enough, he drew his
chair close to that of the Executive, laid his
hand familiarly on the Mayors arm and said:
Mr.. Cleveland, will you do me little favorg"
II shall be glad to do anything car" replied
the Mayor.
We'll, it's this way" said Pat, encouraged;
You see, came here to run q faro bank during
the races, but the gamblers who live here don't
like it, and are going to try to have me run out
of the town. Now what | want is for you to see
that I'm protected. Win you do it?
The acquaintance was cut off very short

She Slid Down the Pole.
From Me st. LOUIS SUNDAY Souinos


Nearly every resident of St Louis has enioved
the sight of seeing the fire department horses,
at the stroke of the alarm, run out from their
stalls and take their respective places at the
different vehic es to which they belong.
This is a sight worth witnessing, and one
which never wears ont. People may see it
again and again, and yet are always ready to
rush to see il again.
Q O'Clock "A large crowd gathered around the
engine house of the ''rhirteens,N on Eleventh
street, near Wash. Among them was a LADY
named Mrs. Pine. who lives on Thirteenth street
and Olive She was delighted with the scene
and went into ecstaces when she beheld the
firemen slide down the steel poles like a flash of
lightning and take their places. So enthUs
astic was she that she expressed an earnest and
loud desire to do the act herself Her friends
who accompanied her seemed shocked at the
peculiar desire Of the lady, and argued the pro
priety of the act
The idea of you, a lady. attempting such O
thing; it's nonsensical," said one.
Il don't care, " cried Mrs. Pipe, II can do it
and ! will"
Nobody was more amused at the remark than
the firemen themselves. One or two OF them
suggested that the lady be given a chance to
display her agility. This encouraged Mrs. Pipe,
who is rather stout wellforined woman of 30,
and she at once declared herself ready. The
lady was led upstairs and grasping the pole,
waited for the gong TO strike.
IAN ready, cried one of the firemen, seizing
a hammer to strike the alarm-"one, two,
three
Ding, ding. went the bell and down came
Mrs Pipe. her skirts flying in the breeze.
1t cannot be said that the act was well or
gracefully executed, for Mrs Pipe came with
thud upon the hard floor beneath. Her face
was flushed. She smiled as she arose from a
sitting position upon the floor.
Il told you / could do it, she said, triumph
antly but as she walked toward her friends she
limped considerably. few moments later she
discovered that she was scarcely able TO walk,
and had to be assisted home
At last accounts she was still quite lame and
when her friends ask her the cause of the sud
den lameness she meekly replies, "Rheuma-

The Chicago Tragedy.

One Of the condemned Chicago Anarchists
committed suicide yesterday, the sentences
Of two of them have been committed to
Imprisonment for life, and four are to die
on the gallows today. Gov. Oglesby has
not been influenced in the least, as far as
the public knows, by the numerous appeals
which have been made to him to pardon
the convicts, or at least to commute
their sentences TO imprisonment 1t is ap-
parent that in committing the sentences of
Fielden and Schwab he was influenced
wholly by statements made to him by Judge
Gary. who presided at the trial of the An
archists, and the States Attorney, Mr.. Grin
nell The Judge made statement showing
that there were circumstances which would
justify a Communication OF FeldenS
sentence and the States Attorney
made statement in behalf of
Schwab While the weight of public
sentiment was III favor of carrying out the
sentences of the court with respect to all of
the convicts, there are few, if amy, who viii
find fault with the Governor for show wing
mercy To those of the seven. in behalf of
whom the Judge and prosecuting officer in-
terposed special plea.

AN English Girls Blunder.
From the Boston Courier.

FfoDl ne bOStOn COUfIeT.
The blunderS of foreign visitors always strike
one as far more droll than they really are. 1t
tckles the vanity to find intellectual people
making mistakes about matters that to those to
the manner born appear perfectly simple, since
TO know SO well what causes another to stumble
seems TO argue a most lofty intellect.
And yet the errors into which strangers fall
are usually logical enough For instance, it
Xas by no means strange that in a land where
butternutS abound an English girl should make
the mistake which so nightly tickled Boston
ians last winter
AT what season." she asked innocently, "are
doughnuts rpe;"
And heartless Americans not only repeated
the question to each other with the greatest
glee, but laughed at her therefor openly and I'M
disguisedly.

Girl Politicians.

Three girls were candidates for the office
OF School Commissioner in different parts of
the State of New York last Tuesday. Miss
Ida NJ Griffin was the Republican candi-
date at Oswego, Miss Nellie NJ. Cook the
Democratic candidate at Wolcott, and Miss
Ellen "A. Clark the Prohibition candidate at
Macedon. Miss Grffin's district was strong
~ Republican, and she received the full sup
port of her party and was elected The dis
trict in which Miss Cook ran is also Repub-
lican by about l 800 majority, Being u
Democrat the chances for success were
against her from the very beginning Of her
CANVASS. Being young-only p years
OF age-and handsome, and hay
ing plenty Of money she entered the
campaign with a show of pluck and energy
which seemed 70 promise victory. She rode
from one village to another in a carriage
drawn by four spirited horses, and, in the
public balls, made speeches which, it is said,
possessed a great deal of merit. She was
everywhere treated with the greatest cour-
tesy and won the praise Of every one for
her courage and modesty. On the day of
election many of her young lady friends
NE4Il W tue pun SollCltou NONSS Api ASls
In her own village she had fine lunch pre-
pared for all who supported her.
Hundreds of Republicans who had
never voted anything but the
straight Republican ticket scratched
their tickets, and placed here name upon
them. She was beaten by only few votes.
In view Of the fact that her party was
largely in the minority, her canvass was
n remarkable one. If she devotes her life
TO politics she will certainly make very
successful politician.
Miss Clark did not display the popular
qualities which enabled Miss Cook to come
so close to victory. She was not good at
speech making, and lacked the courage to
ask for votes. She was, therefore, badly
beaten. Miss Griffin it is said, has the
honor Of being the first woman ever elected
School Commissioner in the Empire State.
The entrance of those three girls into the
field of politics may be only the beginning
Of a movement on the part of women in
New York and, perhaps, in other States to
secure possession of the minor offices. They
are filling very acceptably many position
to-day in which they were totally unknown
a few years ago. 1t would not be strange,
therefore, if, in few years, the names of
women should appear frequently upon po-
litical tickets.

From the san Francisco Chronicle.
Washington Irving Bishop told the other night
story about DR.. John Brown, who wrote "Rab
and his friends, one of the most delightful of
books. Sir Daniel MacNee, the celebrated pain
ter, had just finished picture of Mrs. Brown,
the doctors wife They were beth old people
then. The picture had been sent home. and the
doctor and his friends went in to look at it. 1t

been gazing at it for soue time in silence. His
nephew. young man Just back from college,
stood by him.
"A fine picture; but don't you think, uncle it

George Francis Train has not gone to
Canada yet H stopped over in Chicago
Tuesday long enough to warn his friends to
leave the city, as Anarchists from all parts
of the country were quietly gathering and
would wreak vengeance of the most awful
kind if their comrades were executed. The
threat which so promptly put George
Francis to flight few weeks ago-that he
would be put in an insane asylum-ought to
be repeated. He is evidently conscious of
his weak point, and it should be used to
keep him out of mischief

The success of the Republican candidate
in the Second Rhode Island district gives his
party a majority of the delegations of
twenty States in Congress-just enough to
elect President should the Electoral College
be unable to do so. Many Democrats will
think it fortunate that the chances for
deadlock, attended by intense excitement
and perhaps corrupt political trading, is
thus destroyed. The success of the Demo-
cratic candidate would have left Congress
unable to elect.

The Deadly Car Lamp.
IT EXPLoDES AND BURNS PALACE CAR ON 4 rrxl
ROAD

AS the Missouri Pacific express reached point
within mile Of the city Of Austin Sunday night
lamp exploded In the Pullman sleeper Genesta,
scattering burning Oil over the berths, seats and
interior OF the car, which was soon In q blaze.
The Forepaugh bill car was attached to the
sleeper and one OF the circus men happened TO see
the Hash OF the lamp as It exploded and sgnaied
the engineer TO stop, which he did almost In
stantly. Mrs. Collins and daughter, OF San An
they were out OF 1t with all dispatch, put lost q
portion Of their clothing, Jewelry and purse, but
the last-named article, badly damaged, was sub
sequently recovered. 1t was found impossible to
subdue the flames and the circus car was de-
tached and the train steamed to Austin where
the IRE department was notified But the en-
gtnes arrived too late, and before the flames were
out the whole interior Of the car was DESTROYED.
The Genesta was a new car, on her first trip, and
was valued at $4,000. The damage is estimated
at $1,000.
